National Sugar Cookie Day Celebrated each year on July 9, National Sugar Cookie Day honors the ever popular and delicious sugar cookie.A holiday favorite and very easy to make, sugar cookies are sure to disappear quickly once they come out of the oven. Made with sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla and either baking powder or baking soda, most people have the ingredients on hand at all times and can have the kids help make a batch on any day. Cutting the cookies, with cookie cutters, into different shapes and decorating them with frosting and sprinkles are a popular and fun way to finish the cookies.
The sugar cookie is believed to have originated in the mid 1700?s in Nazareth Pennsylvania. It was there that the German Protestant settlers created the round, crumbly and buttery cookie that came to be known as the Nazareth Cookie. Celebrated each year on July 9, National Sugar Cookie Day honors the ever popular and delicious sugar cookie. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/
Picnic Month Who doesnt love a picnic? Theyre fun any time of year, but Picnic Month is a great excuse to celebrate and be creative. While the classic picnic foods, fried chicken and potato salad, will always remain favourites, there are lots of great themes to be explored. An Italian theme could include cold pasta salad, cheese and cold cuts, and a bottle of wine or Italian soda to wash it all down. An Asian theme could be fun, or try Greek, with some feta cheese, olives, and baklava for dessert. The possibilities are limitless! These days, there are lots of handy new cooling devices for food and/or beverages. But the ultimate picnic fantasy is still of a traditional wicker basket lined with a checked cloth, and filled with fresh bread, cheese, fruit and a bottle of fine wine. Thats picnic perfection! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/picnic-month/
